Can you believe what is happening in the Middle East these days? Obama promised a certain kind of nation to America and the world, and his vision of what a democracy ought to be has swept across the whole region. It has resonated in the Arab heart, caught fire, and is now as far to the north as Syria, and as far south as Bahrain in the Persian Gulf.
The people saw and heard what he was describing to the American voters, and the Arabs asked themselves, “Why can we not have such freedom and blessing ourselves? Why only in the West can people govern themselves. An ember became a flame, and is now a firestorm.

It is just such an important time in the history of mankind. Nothing like this has ever swept across an entire region of the world quite like it. The entire Middle East has become a tinderbox. The urgency for a comprehensive solution has never been greater than it is today. I believe that the U.S. has impressed upon NATO the leading role in this warfare in Libya in order to take a larger view of things and come up with a solution that will prove equitable and acceptable throughout the region, excepting only Iran. We are very near the end of this age, I believe.
